We were recently involved in the planning of a backyard reception after the couple were married in Vegas. The reception had a very simple budget and one goal: to celebrate their love with their closest friends and family. I believe this goal was definitely achieved!
Months leading up to the reception, clear wine bottles were collected, washed and labels removed in order to serve sweet tea...
Hundreds of hours were spent creating these lovely paper roses for the centerpieces...
White tablecloths with a burlap runner covered each long table...
For months, mismatched plates in shades of green and yellow were collected from thrift stores and garage sales along with mismatched silverware...
After the catered BBQ dinner, guests were invited to sit on bales of hay by a fire pit and roast s'mores ...
When it began to get dark, candles scattered over the tables provided the ambiance for dancing and socializing late into the evening.
Isn't that lovely?!?!
It is important to remember that you don't need an enormous budget in order to have a wonderful, thoughtful, romantic and beautiful wedding.
Happy Planning!
